Latvian-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - For Riga's Universities, Latvia's Labor Market and Baltic Business

Latvian and Georgian: universities, work and a Baltic friendship

Riga Stradiņš University has become one of the most popular medical schools in Europe for international students, and Georgians study medicine, dentistry and pharmacy there and at the University of Latvia and Riga Technical University; Latvian factories, construction companies, transport firms and IT companies recruit Georgian workers; a Georgian community has grown in Riga around restaurants, trade and IT; Latvian companies in logistics, timber, pharmaceuticals and IT work in Georgia; and Latvian development cooperation, Latvian NGOs and Latvian officials have supported Georgia's European path for two decades. Each connection produces documents in Latvian - a Baltic language with seven cases that inflects every name including foreign ones - that Georgian authorities need in Georgian, and documents in Georgian that Latvian authorities need in Latvian.

Latvia certifies translations through a notary's certification of the translator's signature, or through the translator's own certification for many purposes, without a sworn-translator register; Latvian apostilles are issued by sworn notaries. Georgia has the notarized translation. Our Latvian team at David Agmashenebeli Ave 117 - Georgian sworn translators with Latvian training, native Latvian editors and a partner translator and zvērināts notārs in Riga for re-certification - connects the two systems.
